    The "proper way" is to write a plugin to handle this.

    I have a WP site where I had a complex custom form. I cheated, I wrote code that would look for information in the page content (ex. [[FORM:FORM_ID]] at which time it would call the functions to process and/or display the form Left all the control out of WP so any updates to WP didn't interrupt it. Worked for me since being a programmer, couldn't stand any of the WP plugins for custom forms. One of the top rated ones was such a mess on the admin site!
